A friend and an Enemy!

The pacifier, or Binky as we call it, is wonderful and awful all at the same time! A few weeks ago we had Hannah down to only using her binky at nap time and bed time and it was so nice. Then of course life happened, she got sick, we went on vacation and we got back into the habit of just letting her have it because it was easier!
So now we are attempting to take it away again, but this time she knows it and asks for it all day long. Which leads to whining and then I just wish I could give it to her so she would stop whining! Haha I know it will be a slow process and right now we are just taking it away throughout the day again, so she still sleeps with it. I don't know what we will do when we try and do that! Anyone have any good ideas for breaking them of the binky? Any ideas would be helpful!

I was told that making a cut in the binkie makes it no longer satisfying to suck on.

I guess there are good parts to having a kid who wont take a pacifier. :) Good luck!

I've heard of cutting it and then the kid gives it up. We took Tony's binkies away and threw them all away while he wasn't watching. Then we weren't tempted to give it to him and he couldn't get to them. One week later he didn't want it any more. He was 12 months old.
